Land of Fire, Konoha.
Outside the Uchiha Compound, the air was heavy with a stern, murderous intent and the pungent stench of blood.
Countless Root and Anbu squads stood on edge, their sharp gazes laced with killing intent as they closely monitored the Uchiha Compound while also carefully guarding against everything around them.
In the past, even knowing the Uchiha wanted to rebel, they had never been this cautious; this change was due to the rise of a single person.
Uchiha Jin!
A standard Uchiha who had been taciturn since childhood, with above-average Ninja Academy grades, and who had suddenly awakened the Mangekyo a month ago!
Late at night.
The Uchiha Compound, a three-courtyard residence.
Security here was quite rigorous; not only was there a Patrol Team in plain sight, but hidden posts were set up in the trees, in the shadows of corners, and on rooftops, with the only commonality being that they all had their Sharingan activated.
Inside the reception hall, the atmosphere was solemn.
Although there were only seven or eight people present, they were all backbone members of the Radical Faction.
Creak.
Accompanied by a soft sound, the door of the reception hall was pushed open.
A Uchiha wearing a black cardigan adorned with the Flame Fan and eyes flashing with three tomoe dropped to one knee.
"Jin-kun, Elder Setsuna."
"Team Seven's mission is complete. We eliminated a total of three Root squads."
"Along the way, an Anbu jonin squad stepped in to stop us, but they have now been completely wiped out by our team. All enemies were reduced to ashes by us, and the battlefield was thoroughly destroyed by us. Not even the Yamanaka Clan could hope to obtain any intelligence."
The Uchiha before them had eyes full of unbridled arrogance.
And, on the other side.
Following this person's mission report, everyone in the reception hall burst into hearty laughter.
Excitement was written all over everyone's faces.
"Exhilarating, truly exhilarating!"
A Uchiha stood up, his entire body trembling with excitement. "This is the real Uchiha! That fellow Fugaku is truly damned; we shouldn't have let him become clan head in the first place!"
The others nodded one after another, their faces full of agreement.
Obviously.
Everyone had long since had enough of Fugaku!
"Fugaku is indeed not qualified, and I regret it now too!"
"Ever since Fugaku took over as clan head, our Uchiha have constantly given ground. On the battlefield, the Uchiha die the most, but the village turns a blind eye; the Nine-Tails' Rampage forced us to give up the Uchiha Ancestral Land, and now they are even blatantly monitoring the Uchiha..."
"Fugaku? Hmph!"
"Jin-kun should be the one to be clan head!"
"..."
The people present all spoke up one after another.
This was enough to show to what extent the current Uchiha had been driven by the village!
Uchiha Setsuna had an aged face, yet it still failed to conceal the malevolent qi that filled his body.
His gaze was deeply obscure, and then he spoke in a hoarse voice. "During Senju Tobirama's era, although the Uchiha were unpopular, we Uchiha could still barely protect ourselves. Ever since Fugaku became clan head, the Uchiha Clan has deteriorated drastically."
"Being submissive to outsiders is one thing, but we can't even keep things under control within our own clan, leading to a split into three factions: the Compromise Faction, the Moderate Faction, and the Radical Faction, and even spawning damned traitors like Shisui and Itachi..."
"Fortunately, heaven has not forsaken the Uchiha, sending us Jin-kun!"
"This old man should also retire. I have decided that Jin will henceforth be the Leader of the Radical Faction!"
Following Uchiha Setsuna's words, cheers broke out among the people present, with no one raising any objections.
It was clear that everyone present had been dissatisfied with Fugaku for a long time.
And, in response to this.
The handsome youth sitting in the seat of honor showed no trace of excitement on his face.
He was none other than—Uchiha Jin!
A transmigrator from Blue Star.
However, he had not just transmigrated recently, having undergone fetal transmigration into the Shinobi World over a dozen years ago.
He had no system or Golden Finger, so he chose to grow step by step. Fortunately, his bloodline concentration was quite decent.
Even if he was not considered a genius within the Uchiha Clan, he still counted as a minor prodigy in Konoha.
He had never thought of hiding or keeping a low profile, because he did not yet have the qualifications for that.
Not to mention that the Third Shinobi War had broken out during his Ninja Academy days; destined to head to the battlefield, concealment was simply impossible for him.
And unlike the original story, Konoha's surveillance was far too tight!
Not only did the village have the Barrier Team monitoring it twenty-four hours a day, but countless Anbu and Root agents lurked in the shadows.
The most absurd part was the presence of Orochimaru and Danzo; these two fellows frequently moved in secret, along with Sarutobi Hiruzen, who abused the Telescope Jutsu...
Hiding?
That was just asking for death!
Throughout all these years he had almost no friends, and even as a contemporary of Kakashi, Obito, and the others, he never thought to approach Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage.
He entered the Konoha Military Police Force by the book, and after surviving the Third Shinobi War, he continued to train in silence.
Until--a month ago!
The parents of this lifetime of his suddenly 'disappeared', yet Uchiha Jin knew very well in his heart that his parents had been secretly captured by Root.
Because on that day he had trained until the early morning hours, and upon returning, he happened to witness it from the shadows.
As someone from Zhonghuaren, he was clear on gratitude and grudges, and even with the memories of his past life, he still regarded the parents of this life as his true family.
Therefore, in the dead of that early morning, he awakened his Mangekyo!
However.
Because the shock he received was too great, he lapsed straight into unconsciousness at the time, which was why he failed to rescue his parents.
His Dojutsu was extremely rare.
Since the traumatized him wanted to destroy everything, the Dojutsu awakened in his left eye was called Susanoo, a legendary god holding the divine authority of destruction; once used, it could obliterate everything while ignoring defense, and this even included time and space.
And because Uchiha Jin was a transmigrator who knew the flaws of the Uchiha Mangekyo, the Dojutsu awakened in his right eye was called Amenonuboko.
A deity wielding the power of time, capable of rewinding his own temporal state.
Naturally, the consumed Dojutsu Power could also be rewound!
Uchiha Jin even faintly felt that if this Dojutsu were developed properly, it might even allow him to return to the past and future, making this an enhanced version of Izanagi.
Of course.
This was not an Eternal Mangekyo, after all; although he could rewind the Dojutsu Power of his left eye, he still had to consume the Dojutsu Power of his right eye.
Yet compared to other Uchiha, the right-eye Dojutsu tainted with the power of time possessed a bug-like ability: nourishment.
By spending a certain amount of time, it could generate Dojutsu Power!
Though this amount of time was quite lengthy, compared to other Uchiha, this ability of his was nonetheless formidable.
After all, the Mangekyo Dojutsu Power of others was a non-renewable resource!
Actually...
He had prepared a plan to escape, and this plan was remarkably simple!
He had previously taken advantage of gaps between executing missions to secretly set up many fake identities outside the village, intending to secretly take his family away before the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre.
As long as he could evade Konoha's first round of searches, once the news of the Uchiha clan's destruction spread, the other Shinobi Villages would undoubtedly make moves.
Kumogakure's kidnapping of Hinata in the original work took place during that exact period!
By then, Konoha would be busy guarding the borders and certainly wouldn't have time to hunt him down, so taking advantage of that time to bring his family to the Land of Snow—a place far removed from the disputes of the Shinobi World—would suffice.
Yet, unexpected to him!
Root's actions disrupted his preparations and plunged Uchiha Jin into utter fury.
Heh.
Did they really think a transmigrator like him had no temper?
Therefore, wanting to rescue his parents and knowing he could not count on Fugaku...
He directly revealed his Mangekyo, joined the Radical Faction, and plotted several operations until now, when he had finally completely subdued the Radical Faction.
At this moment.
He took a deep breath.
Looking at the adoring and excited Uchiha surrounding him, he stood up and spoke directly.
"The so-called pleasantries are far too hypocritical; starting from today, I am the Leader of the Radical Faction."
"I promise to lead everyone to victory, and promise to lead everyone to reclaim our lost dignity."
"I..."
Unfortunately, however.
Before Uchiha Jin could finish speaking, an Uchiha knocked on the door and entered.
"Jin-kun, Elder Setsuna."
"The Clan Head sent word that a clan meeting is to be held immediately!"
